8 With GRML and Knoppix, there's a "toram" (or something like that)
9 kernel parameter, which copies the CD (in compressed form) to RAM.
10 Only then, you can remove the CD. But this means, that you need to
11 have at least 1 GB of RAM (800 megs for CD and something to be able
12 to work). IMO that 1 GB of RAM would be better spend somewhere else
13 during compilation time.
